Release Assistant is a macOS orchestration app for release pipelines in Xcode-based repositories that use scripts/release_all.sh.

What It Manages
- project discovery and switching
- release metadata (version, tag, date, zip path, optional SHA256)
- release context detection (Xcode, VS Code, GitHub host, visibility where available)
- mode selection (full, dry-run, notarized, hosted/self-hosted)
- audit-oriented output and diagnostics
Core Design Goal
Provide safer release execution with workflow-aware guardrails and clear operational visibility.
Operational Scope
- pre-release validation
- pipeline execution control
- failure hinting and remediation guidance
- consistent command provenance logging
